Little League District Administrators Kevin Hladik and John Berardi, along with Bruce Campbell, Treasurer and a Director of Little League Baseball Canada, have joined the Little League International Advisory Board it was announced by Stephen D. Keener, Little League International President and Chief Executive Officer.

The Little League International Advisory Board provides counsel and recommendations to the Little League Baseball and Softball staff and senior management. Its annual fall meeting was held in October at Little League International in South Williamsport, Pa.

The 12-member board provides input, perspective and opinion on current aspects of the Little League program and proposed new initiatives, all for the purpose of maintaining Little League Baseball and Softball as the world's leader in the youth sports arena.

"It is vital that Little League continue to provide an effective program with a goal that all participants, parents and volunteers have a rewarding and enriching Little League experience," Mr. Keener said. "The three new members of the advisory board have distinct backgrounds at various levels of Little League, and their collective experience will provide educated and informed voices regarding the future direction of the program."
